Review from Olivia W (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were very pleased with our son's time in the Baby Barn at Glebe Farm. The staff and in particular his key person were brilliant at settling him (and us!) in, and I felt that the communication with us always excellent too. The facilities meant that he had a wonderful time each time he was there, and the overall environment undoubtedly contributed to how much his speech developed in a short time. We'd recommend the nursery to anyone who asked.

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at Glebe Farm Nursery School

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear your son enjoyed his time in Baby Barn and that both he and you felt so well supported during the settling-in process. Your kind words will be shared with the team

Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery, the team in the Baby Barn are great and my toddler loves his time at nursery. He is genuinely excited to be dropped off in the mornings and the team keep us regularly updated of all activities, including with photographs which show all of the incredible things the children get up to - painting, crafting, exploring outdoors, walks and flying kites, to name a few! Wouldn't consider any other nursery and would always recommend Glebe to my friends.

Overall Experience
I love this nursery! It's off the beaten track so I have less concern about strangers walking past it or trying to get in etc, but they do have facial recognition on the door.
The staff are super friendly and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble, including the manager and admin staff.
The baby barn team are all lovely and give you regular updates throughout the day, including photos and messages. They also always let you know if there have been any issues with eating and log accidents quickly etc. My little boy has a great bond with his key worker and loves her cuddles.
I am really glad I chose this nursery as I can see that they are always continually striving to improve; they take feedback well and action it in a timely manner.

My 15 month old (started at 10 months old) loves this nursery and always comes home smiling and happy.

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at Glebe Farm Nursery School

We are extremely happy with the care & attention given to our daughter. Particularly by the staff in her room (rising 3's) Our requests are always listened to and followed where possible. She has lots of fun, building relationships & growing in confidence with their support. The recent task of showing family photos has really helped her grow. Thank you Gleve Farm!

Review from Jessica H (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has attended Glebe Farm Nusery School since September 2023 and has been a member of both the rising 2's & rising 3's rooms. He has formed incredibly stong connections with his key workers often telling me when outside of nursery that he cant wait to see them. The key workers have also encouraged the children to form really strong friendships with each other. My son does something different every day he attends the nursery, the activities are creatively designed by the key workers and implemented in fun and interesting ways. It is clear a lot of thought and planning goes into each day, which is again demonstrated by how often the room changes its set up and areas in order to maintain interest and spark their imagination. The confidence & knowledge he has gained being in the care of the rising 3's is invaluable. His speech & language development has far exceeded my expectation and I believe the hardworking, skilled & attentive team members are to thank for this. I have no doubt that my child receives exceptionally high quality care and teaching when attending nursery; it shows through the smile on his face when he walks in the room. Thank you to all.

Review from Stephanie K (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with Glebe Farm has been exceptional! From the moment we enrolled my child, the staff has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The nurturing environment they provide fosters not only learning but also emotional growth.
Additionally, the nursery offers a diverse menu of well-cooked meals. It's reassuring to know that my child is enjoying nutritious, balanced meals that encourage healthy eating habits.
The curriculum is well-rounded and engaging, with a perfect balance of play-based learning and educational activities. I've seen my child grow in confidence and social skills, thanks to the dedicated staff who genuinely care about each child's development.
The facilities are clean, safe, and vibrant. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates that makes us feel involved in our child's journey.

I highly recommend Glebe Farm to any parent looking for a loving and supportive place for their child to learn, grow, and thrive!

Review from Lewis J (Father of Child) published on 13 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since my daughter has started Glebe each room has supported different stages of her development. Not only this but staff and management have supported our whole family when I went on deployment. Most recently the 4s have massively helped my daughter with becoming a big sister, talking to her about her feelings and role playing with activities. Each time we collect her she is always smiling and tells us all the exciting things she has been doing at nursery (especially the forest school)

Reply from Glebe Farm, Central support at Glebe Farm Nursery School

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear how much support your daughter-and your whole family-have received at Glebe. It's wonderful that she's thriving through each stage, and we're especially happy to hear how the team has helped her adjust to becoming a big sister. We love seeing her smile and hearing about her adventures!

Lovely nursery with great teachers and support staff. He loves going to nursery. The outdoor facilities are great and his teachers have been fantastic at guiding him to learn and play. The lonely negatives are the track and car park which can get a bit congested but it's not the nursery's fault!

Reply from Glebe Farm, Central support at Glebe Farm Nursery School

Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that your little one loves coming to nursery and is thriving with the support of our wonderful team.

My daughter has been attending Glebe Farm for the last two years and I couldn't imagine sending her to any other nursery. The staff in the rising three's all take amazing care of her and are all friendly and approachable, nothing is ever too much trouble and I feel happy knowing she is in a safe and caring environment. The nursery has in the last year had a new management team who have been brilliant, they have worked hard to update the nursery and have added some lovely new areas for the children, they are always available to help with any queries and always make you feel welcome. Thank you to everyone at Glebe.

Review from R R (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son currently attends the nursery in the rising twos room and we couldn't be happier with the care that they provide for him. They are attentive to all his needs and very caring and loving, greeting him with smiles and cuddles in the morning. He loves coming to nursery and is always happy to come in and excited to see what they are doing that day. His development is always monitored closely and I'm always kept up to date on how he's doing and what his next steps are. The ladies are always so lovely to talk to and can never help enough with requests or questions I have. The office team are also brilliant and always help with anything we need. The two managers have done an amazing job in revamping areas of the nursery and providing the children with lovely areas to play in and organizing family days, open days and charity money-raising events.

My two boys have settled in so well at Glebe Farm Nursery School. The staff are fantastic and really make a connection to the children. My eldest is always excited to go and see his key person, who he calls his best friend. The toys and facilities are brilliant and there is always a healthy and delicious food menu. The staff always publish a daily care diary and observations on the parent app and it's great to see what the boys have been up to each day!

Overall Experience
Glebe Farm Nursery School is a wonderful nursery, my daughter has just finished there and moved to school and my son has just started.
My daughter has had the best start at school which we feel is a credit to the staff, she is happy, kind, helpful and already great at phonics.
I could not have imagined sending my son anywhere else, the baby barn feels like a little home, it's open and spacious and my son loves it there and the staff are wonderful and caring!

We love the outside space and the opportunities to learn and play outside.

Overall Experience

Our son has attended the nursery since he was 11 months old (now 3 years old) and we have seen such brilliant overall development in him. I can honestly say a big part of this is down to the brilliant work done by all Glebe Farm staff. Our son loves the nursery and is always excited on his nursery days as he knows how much fun he has and the great care they take of him. I couldn't recommend Glebe Farm Nursery School enough to anyone looking for childcare.

My son has been at Glebe Farm for a year now and he has loved every moment! The staff have all been exceptionally kind and supportive to him. I know my child is cared for and encouraged to be the best version of himself and as a parent, that's the most important thing! They've been brilliant in meeting his dietary needs and working with me in areas such as learning, toileting and developing language as well as supporting him, when his dad, who serves in the military, was away on deployment. I couldn't recommend highly enough!
